The results of experimental studies of the structure, phase composition, defective substructure and mechanisms of hardening of bainitic constructional steels are presented. The main method of investigation was the method of modern physical material science - translucent electron diffraction microscopy of thin foils. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of carbon redistribution, the evolution of carbide and defect subsystems under deformation by uniaxial compression. More...

The monograph describes the modern understanding of the evolution of structural and phase states of dislocation substructures and the fracture surface at high-cycle fatigue of stainless steels of different structural classes. Modern methods of physical materials and primarily scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the analysis of changes in fine defect substructure and the fracture surfaces of fatigue during normal processing conditions and low energy electron beams, significantly increases the fatigue life are discussed. The physical mechanisms of increasing fatigue life are discussed.

In this monograph the authors used the thermo-mechanical approach to focus on processes of reversible and irreversible equilibrium deformation of isotropic and anisotropic solids. The presented models can be generalized for the case of finite deformations in the construction of images in spaces of nonholonomic measures. Formulation of associated boundary value problems of solid mechanics in variational form, the issues of non-uniqueness and stability of finite deformation processes are also discussed. More...
